Skye Batiks
Waxing lyrical since 1987.
Here on the Isle of Skye, after a long day on the croft in the searing heat, we like to pour ourselves a tall gin & tonic, slip gracefully in to a kaftan & relax on the porch in the cool summer evening.
It’s usually about this time that the alarm goes off breaking us from this dream and it’s time to get up.
£30
We have been making our wrap skirts for years and they come in two lengths. They are easy to wear and move beautifully whilst you are twirling on the dancefloor!
Skirts £32
Our casual 100% cotton trousers feature a tapered leg, two hip pockets and an elasticated waist.
We've been making them for over twenty years and they get more popular every year.
£32
Our famous fishermans' smocks are made right here on the Isle of Skye from beautiful, colourful handloomed cotton designed and woven for us by Barbara Sansoni.
Occasionally (and only occasionally) if we don't have your choice in stock we will make it to order and there may be a short delay in dispatch. We will keep you informed if this happens.
Also, garments purchased may have some slight variation to these shown on the web site.
Cowl and Open Neck £78
Zip Jacket £80

Our wall hangings have been at the core of what we do since the early days. Each design has been carefully replicated from original celtic art pieces found in sources such as the Books of Kells and Lindisfarne.
Every design has a story to tell and comes ready to hang on that blank bit of wall thats been bothering you for ages.
